Junjiro R. Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit. In this situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a NULL pointer. We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago). To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Reported-by: Junjiro R.

The ipmi_devintf module contains the userspace interface for IPMI devices, yet will not be loaded automatically with a system interface handler driver. Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by the ipmi_si driver, so that userspace knows of the recommendation.

For the time being build for ia64-sn2 alone when CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC is specified. This eliminates a dependency of the XP/XPC drivers on having the GRU driver insmod'd in order to insmod them, when running on an ia64-sn2 system. On such a system the GRU driver serves no useful purpose.

Currently "kill <sig> -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the isolation of namespaces. Earlier attempt to fix this was discussed at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148 As suggested by Oleg Nesterov in that thread, use "task_pid_vnr() > 1" check since task_pid_vnr() returns 0 if process is outside the caller's namespace.

Eric Sandeen authored
When ecryptfs allocates space to write crypto headers into, before copying it out to file headers or to xattrs, it looks at the value of crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front to determine how much space it needs. This is also used as the file offset to the actual encrypted data, so for xattr-stored crypto info, the value was zero. So, we kzalloc'd 0 bytes, and then ran off to write to that memory. (Which returned as ZERO_SIZE_PTR, so we explode quickly). The right answer is to always allocate a page to write into; the current code won't ever write more than that (this is enforced by the (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - offset) length in the call to ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set). To be explicit about this, we now send in a "max" parameter, rather than magically using PAGE_CACHE_SIZE there. Also, since the pointer we pass down the callchain eventually gets the virt_to_page() treatment, we should be using a alloc_page variant, not kzalloc (see also 7fcba054) Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

By default, non-privileged tasks can only mlock() a small amount of memory to avoid a DoS attack by ordinary users. The Linux kernel defaulted to 32k (on a 4k page size system) to accommodate the needs of gpg. However, newer gpg2 needs 64k in various circumstances and otherwise fails miserably, see bnc#329675. Change the default to 64k, and make it more agnostic to PAGE_SIZE.

Impact: build fix on non-function-tracing architectures The trace_nop is the tracer that is defined when no tracer is set in the ftrace infrastructure. The trace_nop was mistakenly selected by HAVE_FTRACE due to the confusion between ftrace infrastructure and the ftrace function tracer (which has been solved by renaming the function tracer). This patch changes the select to the approriate TRACING. This patch should fix compile errors on architectures that do not define the FUNCTION_TRACER.

Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace. The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1 because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled. So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct, __register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook. This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize ftrace during the boot.
